Android Central Choice Award

Updated: 1 month ago

In Short

Our staff regularly review technology products that include accessories, software, services and of course, Android smartphones and tablets. Each year, we thoroughly test hundreds of products and provide our readers with in-depth reviews written by our team of experts. In an effort to highlight products we like, we've established the Android Central Choice Awards. When you see the red seal associated with being an Android Central Choice Award winner, you can feel confident that the product has been tested and recommended by our staff. If you're looking for a way to cut through the clutter, the Android Central Choice Award is a great way to find the stuff we really like and recommend.

Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming to read endless reviews in pursuit of your perfect device. For that reason, we've done most of the hard work for you. We use Android on a daily basis (and sometimes more!) so we know good when we see it. We don't take this award lightly either. We know that you rely on us to help you make an informed decision when it comes to tech — and Android in particular — so we absolutely use these products as you would so we can separate the best from the rest, and only those that are truly worthy receive this award.
